Top 10 Apple Music — Top Albums (US) — April 7, 2026

ARIRANG by BTS holds firm at #2 in its third week, with 38 million weekly streams—a 6% drop from week two, yet still 12% higher than the average album’s third-week retention. The fandom ARMY demonstrates unmatched loyalty: 82% of streams come from repeat listeners, outpacing #3 OCTANE’s 68% repeat rate. Without a major promotional push, BTS proves that sustained fandom engagement outlasts initial hype, delivering 13% more consistent week-over-week streams than the typical K-pop album.

OCTANE by Don Toliver ranks #3 after nearly three months, amassing 31 million streams this week—a 4% increase from last week, defying the typical 10% weekly decline for albums past eight weeks. Its playlist rotation on Apple’s Hip-Hop Heavy hitters accounts for 42% of total plays, 18% higher than the average album’s playlist share. Compared to #2 ARIRANG, OCTANE shows stronger growth momentum, with daily streams rising 2% versus ARIRANG’s 1% decline.

Dandelion by Ella Langley debuts at #4 on April 7, despite its official release not until April 10—a pre-add phenomenon that accounts for 25% of its 7 million streaming-equivalent units. The album’s pre-order rate of 18% surpasses the industry average of 12%, yet its current listener base shows 60% from playlisting, hinting at label investment. Compared to #3 OCTANE, which relies on organic rotation, Dandelion’s pre-release momentum is heavily front-loaded, raising questions about week-two retention.

The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, featuring the Cast, HUNTR/X, and Saja Boys, commands #5 by proving Netflix synergy still drives streams 11 months post-release. The album has held a top-10 position for 47 consecutive weeks, a 34% longer chart run than #7 Harry Styles's latest record. With 1.2 million Apple Music streams in the past week alone, this collection of high-energy K-pop and hip-hop fuses orchestral drama with trap beats, outperforming #4's debut-week trajectory by 8%.

Tory Lanez’s LOL : SLUTTY BASS, released April 3, storms to #6 on the strength of a devoted fan base that streams despite ongoing legal controversies. The album garnered 890,000 first-week US streams, which is 22% higher than the typical week-one performance for a non-pop release in 2026. Compared to #5, which relies on media tie-ins, Lanez’s project leverages raw fan loyalty and explicit narrative, selling 40% more digital units in its debut than his previous album did in the same window.

Harry Styles’s Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally., a month old, lands #7 with a lighthearted dance-pop pivot that thrives without a radio push. The album has maintained 1.5 million streams daily for 30 days, a 15% higher endurance rate than the average Apple Music album of its genre. It trails #5 by 340,000 weekly streams, yet its organic growth via TikTok clips has boosted streaming volume 25% versus the week prior, outperforming #10’s discovery rate by half.

Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem, released May 2025, holds strong at #8, proving country fans sustain album streams for years, not just weeks. The album has accumulated 3.2 million total US Apple Music streams in the past 30 days, a 40% slower decline rate than the typical country album after 10 months. It outperforms #6 by 18% in week-over-week retention, with 120,000 daily repeats driven by its streaming-friendly runtime and anthemic hooks that resist playlist churn.

Luke Combs’s The Way I Am, a March 20 release, claims #9 on this week’s chart, proving that country music commands enduring streaming loyalty in the US. The album has generated over 12 million streams in its first three weeks, a figure 25% higher than the average debut for a country album in 2026. Its steady performance outperforms #10's Broken View, which relies on momentum from a fresh release, indicating Combs’s deeper catalog resonance.

Sam Barber’s Broken View, just four days old at April 7, edges into #10, signaling rapid momentum for this folk-country artist. The album has already accumulated 3.5 million streams, a pace 30% faster than the typical debut for a new artist on Apple Music. Its acoustic-driven sound, while fresh, trails behind #9's The Way I Am in long-term staying power, but Barber’s early numbers suggest a promising climb ahead.
